the98stang said:Hey guys I found a tuner in Modesto, CA (speed freaks)....but I'm not sure how good they are and what kind of reputation they have. Has any one heard of them? I need a GOOD tune for my n2o setup. Are there any other recommended places?
st5150 said:Sounds like you're on the right track by researching the shop's reputation before dealing with them. I have never heard of speed freaks. Do they have a website? Know what street they're on? For a basic nitrous setup you probably can't go wrong at most places, but if you want a more hard core shop, check out Advanced Engine Development in san jose 916-715-7569 They've put out some of the hardest running mustangs in the state.
the98stang said:Their website is www.speedfreaks.com . They're located in Modesto, but I can't remember the name of the street. I called Force Fed Performance in Sacramento, but they wanted an arm and a leg for 2 tunes. I could check out Advanced Engine Development. Also, have you heard of Racers Edge Tuning in So. CA? I heard they give some really nice tunes...
st5150 said:The speed Freaks link is bunk, but I found this link www.speedfreaksinc.com the shop seems to be in tracy instead. I haven't heard of them or seen their work, but from the pictures, it looks like a fancy shop. Back in the days in norcal Byron of RaceSystems was the best around and in socal you had a couple of choices, but couldn't go wrong with Danny Swanson of Swanson Performance. I don't know what Danny is up to these days, I'm no longer in the loop when it comes to any of this, but Byron 'retired' a few years ago leaving the field wide open for new commers. Ever since, lots of new tuners have popped up fast and left just as quickly, but at Sacramento Raceway you often hear of some impressive combos from Advanced Engine Development. For such fairly basic setup like yours, you probably can't go wrong with most shops. Going to your local drag strip and seeing who tuned the harder running Mustangs is a good way to find a shop, as well as researching a tuner's reputation like you're doing here.
If you know a computer programming language and have mastered highschool level math and science, you can also consider buying the equipment to tune yourself. It's not hard at all, but does take a lot of research and reading to learn. Ironically the price of tuning is much higher now that customers have options of a few different "chips" and dyno shops, compared to the days where your options were fairly limited.

G.I.Slow said:I just recently moved to Stockton and I am also looking for a good tuner. I am an Army recruiter and one of the guys I work with had good things to say about speedfreaks. I havent made it to Tracy to check them out though. Let me know if you hear anything else about them. Thanks.

Just pulled a car out of their shop in tracy that was there for a tune, and 2 weeks later had to tow it away before they destroyed it. Ravi couldn't tune a Camel on a treadmill, let alone a Mustang. I won't go into details, please trust me and stay as far away as possible. I am teaming up with BAR to set them up, not even licensed with BAR and that's a NO NO! A bunch of young kids who don't know jack, disrespecful, and refuse to accept responsibility for their mistakes (or anything in general) Nice looking, impressive shop that masks a bunch of rookies with little or no knowledge concerning special setting for different vehicle / combinations. Go see Shaun @ Advanced Engine Development in San Jose 916-715-7569
I am serious, other tuners refuse to run a car they have tuned due to the high risk of catastrophic failure... (based on the obvious) yes, there have been several
